I did consider initials and still ended up naming my son Benjamin Morris, his initials are BS or birthmom. I hope he doesn't hate me some day. As I was trying to decide if it was okay, I spoke to 2 people at work with initials BS and thought that was a sign it was okay!
My initials are LBS, I never had a problem with it. My brother's are MES- we always made jokes about him being a mess.

What a cute thread!

I've also known a "BMW" ...except his mom gave him a first name that would have no "nickname" so people wanted to call him Beamer...she said no.

With my madian name I was "ALL" and my sister was "EVL"

We've both married into much less exciting initals

Just found this and had to add mine. My parents named me Gloria Aileen Y. Not such a bad thing when they named me in 1976, but definitely bad when my high school classmates figured out it spelled GAY. When I got married, I hyphenated my last name-for lots of reasons, but one was because I would have gone from GAY to GAG-not any better! This way I'm GAYG.

She never would have made it through college

When we adopted our first child we had already decided her middle name would be Elizabeth but we wanted her to have the same first initial as her bio brother, K. S we decided on a K name. When we sat down and wrote it out we realized that her initials spelled. KEG. She never would have made it through college with a name like that.
